Got a box of rocks from my sister today! The first three pics are Mexican Royal Velvet Obsidian...these pieces are HUGE compared to the last batch I had of this! Check out the color on that third pic!! Two pieces of Gary Green Jasper... Three big pieces of Leopard Skin Jasper! Just had to share the excitement. I won't be able to cut these for a week or more...and that's killing me! LOL       |

LOL I'll let her know she has become VERY popular on the forum! LOL I know she picked it up from here: lapidarycentral.com/The last stuff she got me was "tumbling rough"...but these are definite cutters. |

Wow! Your sister is awesome!
Those pieces of Royal Velvet look incredible. I certainly hope it looks as good as it does in that 3rd picture once you get it cut and cabbed.

I already texted her letting her know she has been elevated to "hero" status on the forum! LOL This next week and a half is going to be KILLING me until I can get on the saw! LOL If the cabs come out looking like that 3rd pic, I'm probably going to pass out! (I'm not LOL'ing that...I'm dead serious! ) |

Thanks Quartz! I'm actually beyond stoked about this box! I know she's got some other rocks she that wouldn't fit in the box...but I don't know what they are for sure. I'm not too sure they'd beat out the Obsidian though! LOL |

I'll definitely be making her some cabs and wraps out of this batch of "goodies"! I bet you fought like cats and dogs when you were little.... LOL! That would be putting it mildly! LOL - I used to THROW rocks at her...now I'll just be mailing some worked ones back to her! |
